What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

Even now, Xian Wenrui still remembers the shock he felt when Fan Jian, with a cold face, chopped off his hand.

He immediately tried to distance himself from the other person, but it was no use; "Fan Jian" instantly lost all consciousness.

In less than a minute, he had no chance to fight back, let alone struggle.

When he woke up, he found himself folded and bound in a bag containing a corpse, and then locked in a cabinet. His vision was completely black.

Damn it, if it weren't for the excruciating pain at his severed arm, he would have thought he was already dead!

What's even more infuriating is that "Fan Jian" acted no differently than usual, squatting outside the cabinet with a smile, peering inside with his double pupils, and even gesturing for him to be quiet when he made a sound. In that instant, Xian Wenrui felt a sense of danger, as if he were being stared at by a snake.

I got goosebumps all over my body, it was so creepy!!

It was at this time that Xian Wenrui realized something was wrong, but he didn't think about it in any other direction. He simply assumed that Fan Jian had been bribed by a certain laboratory and therefore betrayed them. He even suspected Sheng Xue.

It wasn't until Sheng Xue pushed the wheelchair to confront "Fan Jian" and overheard their conversation that Xian Wenrui realized that the person in front of him wasn't Fan Jian at all, but a monster from who-knows-where who had taken the opportunity to steal Fan Jian's body.

No, what about my brother? My big brother is here! And this monster, isn't your acting a little too good? I didn't notice anything was wrong at all. That idiot look is exactly like Fan Jian!

No one knows the complex feelings in Xian Wenrui's heart. Anyway, due to excessive shock and blood loss, Xian Wenrui fainted. When he woke up, he was here. Before he could figure out what was going on, he found that everything around him was in chaos.

It's not Jiang Yue's fault; she left in a hurry, and Xian Wenrui was in critical condition and needed Sheng Xue's help.

However, Sheng Xue's special ability was too useful, and it was obvious that the others in the laboratory also needed treatment, so Jiang Yue simply packed Xian Wenrui and Sheng Xue together and brought them over.

As for whether Xian Wenrui lives or dies, that's not a question a zombie with only half a brain can ponder.

That's why they say some people shouldn't be thought about. Xian Wenrui was reminiscing about these unpleasant things when someone patted him on the shoulder.

Xian Wenrui was now very sensitive to the area where his limb had been severed. When he turned his head and met the double pupils that overlapped with those in his mind, he was stunned for a moment. Then his body reacted before his brain could, and he took a step back in horror, "Holy crap!"

"Xian Wenrui, you're awake! That's wonderful! You scared me to death the other day. I thought I had accidentally killed you."

Fan Jian laughed heartily, his tone no different from when he said, "Hey, I feel like you understand me better than I do. What's going on with Sheng Xue and Jiang Yue? They've made such a fuss, putting me in such a difficult position."

Fan Jian even tried to put his arm around Fan Jian's shoulder, acting like they were best buddies. Xian Wenrui thought the man in front of him was incredibly shameless, still able to say such things so brazenly.

Zhang Wenjing watched Fan Jian warily from the side. Moreover, it seemed that their location had suddenly become the focus of everyone present, whether monsters or humans, all eyes were on "Fan Jian".

Fan Jian noticed a gaze, turned his head, his smile gradually fading as he met Lu Yize's scrutinizing gaze.

"Fan Jian" stared at Lu Yize's cold face, calling his name slowly and deliberately, with obvious dissatisfaction, "You always do things that I don't expect."

"They disrupted our plans time and time again, destroyed our test subjects, destroyed the experimental base, and even drove the zombie king out of the city. Logically speaking, the central base should no longer exist. Zombies and humans devoured each other, and all the lower-level humans and zombies died."

"But because of you, everything was disrupted. Then the appearance of the sea monsters and strange beasts disrupted our plans once again. Lu Yize, you are really putting me in a difficult position."

As he said these words, he sighed deeply, genuinely worried.

"Logically speaking, our plan shouldn't be discovered, and you shouldn't discover this underwater laboratory. You wouldn't know of our existence, and the experiments could be carried out on a large scale. This way, we wouldn't have to eliminate you. Isn't that better?"

"Why are you all so curious? To use a phrase from your place, curiosity killed the cat."

Lu Yize is not the kind of person who is considerate of others. He messed up other people's plans. What does that have to do with him?

Moreover, with so much nonsense, from the moment they discovered this underwater laboratory, it was impossible for the two sides to coexist. Lu Yize was the kind of person who would rather take action than say a word, and his spatial ability swept towards "Fan Jian".

Fan Jian stood still without moving aside, knowing that this was a test; Lu Yize was probing his strength.

Still bewildered, Morse asked Chen Mingzhang, who was standing nearby, "What's going on? Why are they fighting? Why are they fighting amongst themselves?"

Chen Mingzhang looked at Morse with a complicated expression, "The one fighting Lu Yize wasn't human, but a creature like them, though its strength should be far superior."

Morse gasped, staring in shock at the people fighting fiercely with Lu Yize not far away. But with just one glance, they realized the problem: Lu Yize was being suppressed the whole time, while his opponent looked completely relaxed.

"Could it be... that he's a sixth-tier ability user?" Morse frowned.

Chen Mingzhang's heart sank little by little. Mu Fei and the others had conducted experiments and made a preliminary judgment that no matter how top-notch a person was, it would be difficult to make any further progress after reaching the sixth level.

They cannot cross the sixth level limit. Researchers from Donggu, Xiyue, and Beisha have all made the judgment that the highest level of all creatures will stop at the sixth level.

But now, Chen Mingzhang clearly sensed that the opponent's strength was far greater than theirs, definitely not just at the sixth level!

The person who felt it most clearly was Lu Yize, who was fighting against "Fan Jian". In his previous life, he had seen Zheng Lin's battle when he was at the sixth level and knew clearly what the strength of the sixth level should be.

In the later stages of the apocalypse, Zheng Lin's sixth rank had reached its peak, with no further advancement possible. However, the strength displayed by "Fan Jian" now is clearly stronger than that of Zheng Lin at that time.

Lu Yize's face was cold. No matter how amazing or extraordinary a genius was in his previous life, he was always stuck at the sixth level.

Clearly, just as alien beasts and plants need a certain substance to cross the fifth-tier threshold, human zombies also need a certain medium to cross the sixth-tier threshold.

Above the sixth rank! There's still room for advancement!
